Gujarat plans 6 crore trees, Jan Kalyan camps to mark Modi govt's 12 years
Synopsis
Gujarat is turning the Modi government's 12-year mark into a statewide mobilisation — six crore trees, over 1,000 natural farming workshops, doorstep welfare camps, and a Pragatipath Yatra, all wrapped up on International Yoga Day. It is as much a political outreach exercise as a governance showcase, with tribal communities, OBCs, and farmers explicitly named as the target audience.

The Gujarat government will roll out a month-long statewide programme of welfare, environmental, and outreach activities in June 2025 to commemorate 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led Union government. The initiative — spanning plantation drives, doorstep service camps, natural farming workshops, and development project visits — was announced on Wednesday, 27 May following a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
Theme and Launch
State government spokesperson and minister Jitu Vaghani said the celebrations would be held under the theme '12 Years: Of Trust, Development and Public Welfare'. Addressing a press conference, Vaghani described the milestone as 'not merely years of governance, but years of trust, development and public welfare.'
The national launch is scheduled for June 8 and 9 in Delhi, with media interactions involving the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president and Union ministers. In Gujarat, Chief Minister Patel and state Cabinet members will meet media representatives on June 11 and 12 to discuss development works undertaken over the period.
Environmental Drive: Six Crore Trees
The 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign will be expanded statewide from June 5 — observed as World Environment Day — in line with Prime Minister Modi's call for environmental conservation. Under the initiative, approximately six crore trees are to be planted with participation from schools, universities, and social organisations at mandal and taluka levels across Gujarat.
A statewide cleanliness drive focused on plastic waste management will run from June 8 to 14 in both rural and urban areas.
Jan Kalyan Camps and Doorstep Services
From June 12 to 20, the government will organise 'Jan Kalyan Camps' modelled on the Seva Setu programme to deliver doorstep services to citizens. On-the-spot registration and guidance will be provided for schemes including Ayushman Bharat, PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Lakhpati Didi, and PM SVANidhi.
Vaghani said outreach efforts would specifically focus on tribal communities, Scheduled Castes, OBCs, farmers, and youth. Special meetings are also planned with doctors, engineers, educationists, and social media influencers to broaden the campaign beyond government circles.
Natural Farming Push
Chief Minister Patel reportedly laid special emphasis during the Cabinet meeting on expanding Prime Minister Modi's Mission Natural Farming initiative to protect soil health. More than 1,000 workshops and demonstrations on natural farming will be organised for farmers across Gujarat.
Farmers will also be facilitated to visit sites where natural farming is practised successfully, and the government will set up special sales centres at public places alongside online marketing support for naturally farmed produce.
Pragatipath Yatra and Conclusion
A 'Pragatipath Yatra' — visits to major development projects and high-priority schemes — is scheduled from June 8 to 14. District-level exhibitions showcasing the Modi government's achievements will run for three days in each district, and public feedback will be collected during the drive.
The entire statewide programme will conclude on June 21, International Yoga Day, with mass yoga sessions at taluka headquarters across the state in coordination with the Gujarat State Yog Board.
Point of View
Over a thousand farming workshops, doorstep welfare camps, and a month-long district exhibition circuit — blurs the line between governance delivery and political mobilisation ahead of what is a symbolically charged anniversary for the BJP. Explicitly targeting tribal communities, OBCs, and farmers signals that the party is using the occasion to shore up constituencies that have shown signs of volatility in recent state elections. The natural farming push is notable: it links a national PM-branded initiative to grassroots outreach, but the success of over 1,000 workshops will depend on follow-through that past such campaigns have not always demonstrated.
